Haye: "Parker facing better opponent than anyone Wilder, Joshua faced"

Haye praises Joseph Parker for taking on Carlos Takam and not choosing the easy route to earn a title shot. Also says that Takam is a tough, dangerous foe and better than any opponent Wilder and Joshua faced so far.

 

he is right takam is a very very good fighter

parker once he fights takam will fight a fighter better than anyone josh or wilder fought

 

Takam is NOT on whytes level. Man whyte losing to AJ seemed to change his in ring ability with the fans drastically. Or maybe the fans didn't know how dangerous and tough a whyte fight is.

Whyte would put it on takam and i mean put it on him to the tune of KHTFO, mid rounds too

 

Better than De Mori, and that other bum Haye's soon to be facing, that's for sure...

 

True, but it's kinda weird for him to start bumshaming these guys when he himself has been doing the exact same thing at HW.

 

I agree, I think Whyte will bounce back and get himself in the mix at world level.

 

Not at all convinced by the Whyte call. Takam doesn't have his power but I see his as a much better fighter

 

Obviously Takam is much better. Whyte has heart and toughness but that's it. He doesn't have the skills that's why he injured his shoulder against Joshua. He was throwing wild punches with awful technique that caused the injury.

 

Takam is a very solid fighter. I see him as the favourite to beat Parker this Saturday.

 

It's true. Although Takam vs Stiverne (at the time Wilder fought him) would be a close matchup as well.

 

if parker wins does he become mando for josh?

 

Yes - for early 2017 unless Joshua fights for a unification.

 

**** that I was hoping they would be forced to fight him if he wins for later this year

 

IBF mando is every 12 months for HW rather than every 9 like for below HW

 

Parker is also facing a better oopponent than HAYE HIMSELF is facing that's the big irony.
